you could always move it yourself the whole way by moving it as far as the time you have then putting it in a marina till you can move it again, a marina hop till you get to your mooring.

for those that dont have facebook.
-
What worries me more is where junior finds things like this!!!
it's all over farcebook lol
-
What does it say now then, given you are the author?
go read it.
-
I didn't quote it as fact. You'll notice if you just hold off your vendetta against me for a second that I quoted a FB post and invited the author (a well known member here) to explain their comment. They chose not to.
i think that post has been updated if you have bothered to look.

Is it not the done thing for mods to inform a poster if they delete any posts the poster may have made , has it come to the point they no longer need to explain the why and wherefore of anything the feel is against A , THE FORUM RULES OR B , JUST THEIR PETTY MIND SET
it is polite to tell you they have removed a post of yours and the reason why, have you asked them why?

Sorry folks but I have little to add, except that yes, as Mickp confirmed on here a couple days ago, Graham and Chris have their boat back and it is thanks to you lot, the boating community. I have no idea where it is but also no reason to think it is not at Great Haywood.
You are everything people say you are and much more.
I have no doubt that Graham and Chris have a terrific story to tell which I for one very much look forward to hearing but they cannot do so yet. Also as there will have to be a court case they may not be able to talk any time soon.
But this was a very well-executed robbery which very nearly worked, on a very distinctive boat in a very busy marina on a busy stretch of canal, with hundreds of people searching.
So this thread or a new one should focus on security. Please do not think about chaining your boat to the pontoon as that is a huge risk in a fire. At Mercia we would not have it.
Well done all. I am really proud of being part of this community.
what does this mean?
I can't actually recall seeing anything that confirms anybody has been apprehended.
But it is now a very long thread, with an increasing number of totally spurious posts appearing, so maybe I missed it.
Can you find the actual post that confirms person or persons was caught?
I must admit I am also totally struggling to comprehend why somebody thought a partial repaint would be enough to disguise this boat sufficiently that it would not be found on a busy canal, less than 2 days travel from where it was taken from. As they seem to have removed it from the marina very efficiently, and had huge numbers of people looking a long while, that particular twist doesn't fit the rest of the story.
We are still not able to join in with comments etc at the moment. Two points we would like to clarify, there was no one on board when we found our boat, also we have not been informed by the Police that anyone has been arrested. Thank you all for comments and kind words, we really do appreciate you all.

fantastic news
i hope you are getting a tracker fitted just incase someone else has the balls to do it again. -
hope they have a water tight case.

Its just arrived at gt haywood marina steered a couple.a name has been greyed out looks rushed job
As the boat been seen in Great Haywood Marina today?
yes see above quote.
-
I think you have a rather romantic notion of how most forces now operate in relation to found low value items.
Thankfully they have now prioritised their efforts to more urgent matters.
I would suggest if the op doesn't wish to keep it if not claimed they weigh it in and donate the proceeds to a charity of their choice.
thats a bit harsh, it could have sentimental value to the owner.
-
Yes.
Why?
by whom?
-
yep had my black prince 7 years now, stripped her out and refitted to how we wanted it, been living aboard 5 years now and still going strong.
-
So can we definitely end the hunt officially now on other pages on fb etc?
pretty much yes, as mickp has confirmed it is the stolen boat
-
In the photos posted last night the name looked pretty well done. If it's painted on perhaps the thief is a sign writer?
paint jobs not bad either so maybe he is a boat painter?
-
I take it the found boat isn't "Rare Bear" then?
yes it is rare bear
-
I would imagine they'll have fully comprehensive insurance on a new boat.
let's hope so and it is covered.
-
Will this be covered by their Insurance?
if it was only 3rd party then no.
-
Spoke to chri graham asked me to thank everyone on here for all the help in getting her back.its been at western for a while and it was spotted by a member on here yesterday.no one was with the boat when it was found.they say they will post soon as they needed to stay quiet untill they got the boat safe
so it has been identified as the stolen boat? have the thieves been caught?
-
I'm smelling feathers
Richard
roasted?
-
It seems pretty odd to go to all the trouble of painting it and then call it something that stands out-why not "Kingfisher?"
But that's what I am saying, the police investigate leads, you don't have to deliver your own criminals for them to act...
Ok yeah maybe sometimes you do, but a call informing them of what, 80k or so potentially stolen goods ready to pick up complete with thief? I'm pretty sure they'd give them a knock and eliminate them or otherwise.
yes but if the owners identify it as theirs then the police can be called, otherwise its another wild goose chase and a waste of police resources surely.
-
Has anyone informed the police? They can investigate it if it is plausible...
still waiting for confirmation if its theirs or not
-
Like I said. You're far nearer than me.
without a car tho
-
Coz its 150 miles from me! Why don't you? You're nearer.
im in braunston or i would have drove up there
i hope you are getting a tracker fitted just incase someone else has the balls to do it again.
Moorings on Trent near Nottingham.
in General Boating

are they not CRT moorings both sides of the lock past the service block? i think they are unless somethings changed. the only place to moor after the lock is after the moorings towpath side before the bridge.
ed to add, you can wind in the arm by the service block, no need to reverse into the lock.
